It is safe to say that even if you live in the middle of a city, you will likely love the great outdoors. Not the one that has buildings and coffee shops, but the one that is greener, has more natural hues, and, of course, is surrounded by bird song. Anyway, as people have been doing for years, it is now possible to bring the beauty of nature into your home with ease without breaking the bank. 

So, here are some of the best ways to do it that will give your home a luxurious vibe at the same time. Enjoy!

Stone Flooring

Stone flooring is a must-have if you are looking to bring the natural world into your home. 

Brands like Quorn Stone can help in this area, as they can offer an array of different types of stone flooring, which can be mixed and matched to any other areas of décor in your home. Just make sure you are equipped to get a lot of compliments from guests!

Natural Materials

Next, it is time to think about materials. If you already have furniture set in place, then it may be worth looking into add-ons that can be used to enhance the natural theme you are going for. Aiming for neutrally colored throws, rugs, and pillows can help here, especially if they are made from fibers like bamboo, cotton, or even hemp. Or, if you aren’t a big fan of neutral colors, you can try options that have plant-based prints on them, as well as flowers.

If you don’t have any furniture, look for options made of wicker, wood, and even a Rattan design. This can all add to the natural look and won’t cost an excessive amount.

Plants

When you are looking to bring the outside in, you will want to up the green factor. That is, you will want to bring more plants in! Indoor plants vary in size, depending on the space that you have, but even a simple indoor fern can be a great asset here. If you are trying to go for a desert theme, why not try cacti plants? Or, if you want to have a rainforest theme, you can opt for larger climbing plants, like palms, indoor ivy (make sure you have something for it to grow around), and even indoor trees!

Colors

As mentioned before, colors play a large part here, and in particular, you will want to focus on greens, beiges, and browns. This is easy to do; simply aim to have pillowcases in these colors or throws mixed with rugs, placemats, and coasters. If possible, paint the walls in a similar shade to really pull the room(s) together. Remember, nature has different shades of green, so your décor can too!

Artwork and Accessories

Finally, the icing on the cake; the accessories. In a home where the theme is the outdoors, you could incorporate indoor water features, wooden ornaments, and even paintings of jungles, woodland, and wild animals. Again, this will tie the theme together and can create a great focal point for the space.
